Koalíció

Koalíció is a term derived from the Latin word "coalitio," meaning union or coalition. In political science, it refers to an alliance of two or more political parties or factions that agree to work together to govern. This typically occurs when no single party holds a majority of seats in a legislature, making it impossible for them to form a government alone. Koalíció is formed to create a stable majority capable of passing legislation and implementing policies.

The formation of a koalíció often involves negotiations and compromises among the participating parties. They must agree on a common program, the distribution of ministerial portfolios, and the leadership of the government. The specific terms of a koalíció can vary greatly, ranging from broad agreements on major policy areas to more limited cooperation on specific issues. The longevity and success of a koalíció depend on the parties' ability to maintain trust, resolve disagreements, and adhere to their agreed-upon objectives.

Koalíció governments are common in parliamentary systems, particularly in countries with multi-party systems. They can offer several advantages, such as broader representation of different political viewpoints and increased policy stability. However, they can also be prone to internal conflict and may struggle to enact decisive action due to the need for consensus. The concept of koalíció is also applicable in other contexts, such as international relations and social movements, where groups with shared goals unite for collective action.
